Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister B. Ramanath Rai on Saturday asked the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to restrict the width of National Highway 169 (Mangaluru-Solapura) between Mangaluru and Moodabidri to 30 m instead of the proposed 45 m, particularly in urban areas.

Presiding over a meeting to discuss widening of the NH and land acquisition for the same here, Mr. Rai said that the reduction in width should be followed in Mangaluru, and from Gurupura Kaikamba to Thenka, Badaga Edapadavu.
